(Daily Express) The shocking attack happened at approximately 9pm on Sunday night in Augsburg, one of Germany's oldest cities.

Residents were being evacuated following the discovery of a bomb from the Second World War and some had boarded a replacement night bus when a fight broke out.

Several Syrian migrants erupted with anger because of a pram taking up space on the bus.

Migrants hurled abuse at other passengers before a fight broke out, with four of the Syrian men using the handles on the bus to hoist themselves up and attack women and old people to try and drag them into the fighting, according to an eyewitness.

The migrants paid no attention to anyone in their way, at one point kicking a one-year-old in the face.

Paramedics were called and arrived on the scene to help the injured but the men began attacking them with belts - not letting up until the police were called.

Police have now launched an investigation into what happened.

The incident comes amidst heightened tensions in Germany after the attack on a German Christmas market by a migrant in which 12 people were killed.
